After several Olympic disappointments, archer Deepika Kumari is determined to continue her quest for an Olympic medal. Despite recent setbacks, she remains focused on training and improving her quick shooting. Eyeing the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, Deepika is committed to becoming mentally stronger and achieving her dream.
